Welcome to the Hatman Project
Hello. My name is Timothy M. Brown, Jr. and I am the site owner, administrator, and researcher for The Hat Man Project. The purpose of this site is to research the phenomenon that has come to be known as “The Hat Man.” Reports of The Hat Man and other shadow beings have been on the rise within the last several decades. It was due to my own experience with this being, as well as my awareness of other people’s sightings of The Hat Man that I decided to begin this research project.
I started this project in 2001, collecting what few stories I could find on the web at the time. Since that time, this site has received hundreds of stories from people all over the world. It has taken me the better part of 20 years to fully understand what this phenomenon is all about. And after years of research I have finally come a conclusion of who or what the Hatman is, why he is appearing now, why he is appearing to people all over the world, and what to do if you are (or have had) and encounter with him.
I am currently writing a book about the Hatman called The Hatman Revealed. In this book I plan to go into detail about the commonalities of the many hundreds of stories we’ve received over the years and what those commonalities reveal about this being and phenomenon. There will be no cost for this book, and I believe that this has become more of a mission of mine more than anything else. This information needs to get out there.
The aim of this website is to explore the stories of the many sightings that have been reported. This is the very first and only web site solely devoted to researching, collecting, and archiving information and stories relating to The Hat Man. As more stories are researched and collected they will be posted on this site regularly.
Have you seen the Hatman? If you or anyone you know has had this experience, we would love to hear from you and add your story to this site. If you have a sighting or an encounter you would like to tell, please post your story here to the right of this page. Once reviewed we will post it online and give others a chance to comment on it. We look forward to hearing from you. If you would like to reach out to us personally, you may do so by contacting us here.

I Know I Am Protected Now.
Has anyone ever wrote a book on the Hatman? I bet it would be interesting. You always hear about people seeing aliens and you never hear too much about the Hatman. I guess I will never get the answers I want about him. Was he sent to me to change me? I did change after I saw him but not completely back then because I brushed him off as being a dream. Now that I know he is real I would never go back to what I was. I carefully watch my actions in life because I dont ever want
The Party
I've told this story before on another message board hoping to get answers, so I'll be brief this time in case you have all read my other post. In the 1980's my parents were in their 20's and were living in Chile, where we are originally from. I was a baby, sleeping in a back room, adjacent to the back patio of my parent's then-home. My parents were in the patio with their friends, having a night-time bbq. Out of the blue, a tall figure wearing a wide-rimmed hat appeared from outside the patio, went through the gate, past the
Ghost Hunter Group
For a short period of time, I was part of a local ghost hunter group. I saw the shows on TV and wanted to be part of one even though I am 50 something. Our group was called out to investigate a brand new home this family had been living in for a year. They thought it was haunted and that her husband was bringing the ghost home as it seemed to be with him mostly. When we arrive she told us of all the strange events taking place in her home. But the one that scared her the most
Supernatural Thing
had to post in separate parts. part 1: I am most certain that I have encountered the 'Hat Man' about ten years ago in Pennsylvania. I stumbled upon the sketch of the 'hat man' on wikipedia tonight, somewhat randomly. It had been ten years since I saw this figure, but I was most incredibly shocked when I saw the picture on wikipedia because it was exactly what I had seen almost ten years ago. I had no way to match my experience to something tangible like a photo, so seeing someone's interpretation of what I saw, and seeing how spot
Tickle Monsters
About 10 years ago my friend's dad passed away. He was originally from Mexico and his sister was in town for the funeral. While we were remembering him one night, the sister told us a strange story of why this man stuttered his whole life. Something he saw as a child. The clothing he was wearing; resembling a coat with tails and a hat. The coat and hat man episode took place in Mexico in the early 1950's. Whatever my friends dad saw hovering in the room where he was looking for his mother, it scared him unconscious, when he
House Hunting In Tennessee
I saw the 'hat man' once in an old house when I was very young, maybe ten or eleven. My family was house hunting in Tennessee. We had looked in quite a few places already, and we were now in Franklin. There was this great old house, civil war era or earlier. I was left alone while my parents talked to the real-estate woman, and I had gone down a hallway to see the other rooms. As I got closer to the end room, I felt a sense of inexplicable dread. There was with this, the feeling that someone had
Do You Believe In Ghosts?
When I was about 4 years old we were living in an old house. I have very few memories of the house, but one memory has stuck with me vividly for 30 years. I was laying in bed and looking out the window across the street. All of the sudden a black shadow that looked like a man appeared and said in a very malevolent, dark, deep voice "do you believe in ghosts little girl?". I started screaming and my mother came into the room and dismissed it as a bad dream. I insisted that it was a shadow talking
Time Check
I'm 27 now. I had an experience with "The Hat Man" when I was 17. I have never seen him again. I heard a radio show recently that referred to "shadow people". It sounded ridiculous to me until someone described the "hat man". I instantly remembered my experience. I woke up one summer night when I was in high school. I used to sleep on my side. I rolled over to check the time on my alarm clock and there was a dark shadowy type figure of a man with a hat and an overcoat standing right beside my bed
His True Identity
I know who he is. I had a significant encounter with him when we moved to a new house in Desert Hot Springs, CA. We moved out of the house after a month of pure terror, but my in-laws laughed at me and decided to make it their vacation house. Shortly after, my father in-law developed cancer. Other strange occurrences have happened at the house, but they still don't believe. We live in Las Vegas now. It came after me but I was able to defeat it. I didn't know how at the time, but I found out later that
